In filing the complaint, we will make sure that the CPS treat the parents as they should do, not as some sort of inconvenience to be overlooked as they purse the case". A spokeswoman for the CPS said: "We have kept Harry Dunn's family up to date at all stages and the Director of Public Prosecutions has met with them to explain the charging decision in person.

Watch Live. Harry Dunn's parents lodge complaint against Crown Prosecution Service over 'inhumane treatment' His mother Charlotte Charles tells Sky News: "I just don't understand why they are keeping us in the dark about what is going on. Fill 2 Copy 11 Created with Sketch. Thursday 7 May , UK. Why you can trust Sky News. More on Anne Sacoolas. On their second day, just after appearing on the Gayle King show on CBS , Seiger received a call from the White House, telling them to get there as soon as possible.

At the time, none of them had a strong opinion about Trump. The president appeared to believe that the privilege of meeting him would make up for the loss of a beloved son.

But the four parents refused to see Sacoolas. What did Trump say? Three times, he tried. I spoke for about five, six minutes, looked into his eyes.

Charlotte told Trump that if they were to meet Sacoolas, it would have to be with mediators and therapists present, and that everybody would have to be prepared — including Sacoolas.

There were reports that Trump had attempted to pay them off. Was he really ready to get his chequebook out? The family are appalled at the idea that they could be paid off. As I get ready to leave, Charlotte says they know they need professional help.

S ix weeks later, on 20 December, Sacoolas is charged by the CPS with causing death by dangerous driving. Her US lawyer immediately issues a statement saying she will not return to the UK voluntarily. She is a mother herself and cannot imagine the pain of the loss of a child.

But on 10 January, the CPS formally requests her extradition. There have been other developments. In February, the Mail on Sunday reported that Anne Sacoolas, a fluent Russian speaker, was an intelligence officer herself — and a much more senior official than her husband.

A photograph emerges of Sacoolas filling her car at a petrol station in Virginia. I am due to catch up with the family, but Seiger tells me they are struggling and not up to talking.

As Britain goes into lockdown, the Harry Dunn story disappears from the front pages. Meanwhile, the family prepare to apply for a judicial review of the decision to let Sacoolas leave the country. They will argue in court that the American did not have diplomatic immunity, and that allowing her to leave without the knowledge of the investigating police force was unlawful.

In and , the US and British governments signed pre-waivers agreeing that if staff with diplomatic immunity at RAF Croughton committed a crime, that immunity would automatically be waived. However, the agreement made no mention of spouses — which appears to be an oversight. Now both governments are arguing that, under the Vienna convention, the international agreement regulating treaties between states, Sacoolas has full immunity because the waiver neglected to mention spouses.

Seiger argues that this is a perverse reading of the convention, even if you accept Sacoolas was a spouse rather than a spy. And even if you have immunity, Vienna makes it absolutely clear that diplomats should respect the laws of their host country. It is not a get-out-of-jail-free card. But these parents are not going to be bought off. B y early May, Harry Dunn is back in the news. Interpol has issued a red notice: a request to law enforcement worldwide to find and arrest Sacoolas , pending extradition.

But they look every bit as broken as they did in November. Being at home is our safe place. The only difference is that it gets much more difficult to distract yourself from losing the plot. The family did start counselling before lockdown, but Charlotte says it may be too early for her. I love them to bits. Harry had been pestering us for years to get a dog. When you lose somebody who was your world, you quickly learn not to put things on hold — that life is too short.

The biggest difference since we last talked, she says, is that the family have become angrier. I am sick and tired of seeing my mum and dad suffering. It was bad enough losing Harry. But watching them go through this torture is just awful.

The family have met Raab four times now. We have done and will continue to do everything we properly can to ensure that justice is done. Updated Oct 15, at pm.
